The package will automatically register its service provider.

Publish the package's configuration file to the application's own config directory

Go to laravel facade sample directly.

Configuration

After publishing the configuration, you can find the Push service config in config/pushnotification.php

The default configuration parameters for GCM and FCM are :

• priority => normal
• dry_run => false
• apiKey => Your ApiKey

You can dynamically update those values or adding new ones calling the method setConfig like so:

The default configuration parameters for APN are:

(Make sure to set dry_run to true if you're using development *.pem certificate, and false for production)

Also you can update those values and add more dynamically

Even you may update the url of the Push Service dynamically like follows:

Not update the url unless it's really necessary.

You can specify the number of client-side attempts to APN before giving up. The default amount is 3 attempts. You can override this value by specifying connection_attempts in setConfig() assoc-array. Keep in mind the default number of requested attempts is 3.

If you prefer to retry indefinitely, set connection_attempts to zero.

$push->setConfig([
    'passPhrase' => 'NewPass',
    'custom' => 'MycustomValue',
    'connection_attempts' => 0,
    'dry_run' => true
]);
